Definitions

  • the present invention may be used for dispensing viscous materials such as paste-like extrudable materials, extrudable foams, or the like.
  • viscous materials such as paste-like extrudable materials, extrudable foams, or the like.
  • One area where the invention has particular application is the food industry.
  • icing or pre-whipped toppings are typically applied manually by means of a cone shaped flexible package containing the substance to be dispensed.
  • pre-whipped topping is typically supplied in a sealed bag having a conical shape with the product being dispensed from the narrower end where an outlet portion is formed. The outlet portion is typically opened by cutting with a pair of scissors. Other methods for opening the bag are also suitable.
  • the product is dispensed by squeezing the sides of the packaging to force the product to exit through the opening.
  • Manual dispensing of the pre-whipped topping or icing in this manner can cause muscle fatigue in the workers which can negatively impact productivity.
  • a dispensing device that is easier to operate, that can be operated with one hand, that can be stored in a limited space, and that provides cooling properties for maintaining a safe temperature for the topping.
  • the dispenser In order to maintain the physical characteristics of the dispensed product, the dispenser should not provide any force to the pre-whipped topping or icing when the unit is not dispensing.
  • a dispensing device having a housing capable of receiving a pre-packaged charge of pre-whipped topping or icing.
  • the housing has an inner wall with a slot formed therein for receiving a rack that is capable of rotational and translational motion within the slot.
  • the rack has a set of gear teeth that engage with a catch on a plunger.
  • the piston moves in the axial direction to force the pre-whipped topping or icing through the outlet in its packaging.
  • the catch on the piston is locked in one direction and pivots in the opposite direction such that the rack engages with the piston when it moves in a first direction and the rack disengages with the piston when it is moved in a second direction opposite the first direction.
  • a preferred embodiment is a dispensing device having a housing capable of receiving a pre-packaged charge of pre-whipped topping or icing, the housing having an inner wall with a slot formed therein for receiving a rod.
  • the rod engages with a pawl mechanism to move a piston in the axial direction to force the pre-whipped topping or icing through the outlet in its packaging.
  • the pawl engages with the rod when it moves in a first direction and the pawl disengages with the rod when it is moved in a second direction opposite the first direction.
  • the dispensing device 10 of the present invention includes a body 13 having a first portion 16 with a round profile and a first diameter 19.
  • the body 13 has a second portion 22 with a smaller diameter.
  • the first portion 16 extends to a base portion 25 having a larger diameter.
  • the body 13 may be provided with a hook 28 for hanging the device 10 when not in use.
  • the device 10 includes a cover 31 that may be removably attached to the front of the body 13. As shown the cover 31 may be provided with an opening 32 that frictionally engages with a protrusion 34 extending from the outside of the body 13. A tab 35 may be provided for removing the cover 31.
  • the cover 31 has an outlet opening 37 at its center where a tip cover 40 is provided to cover the outlet opening 37 when the device 10 is not in use.
  • a handle 43 may be provided with a trigger 46 that is attached at pivot point 49.
  • the trigger 46 is biased by a spring 52 ( Fig. 2 ) in the open position.
  • the trigger 46 operates a reciprocating rod that drives a piston as will be described in greater detail below.
  • the device 10 may receive a cylindrical shaped flexible package 55 with a built-in dispensing tip 58.
  • the construction of the built-in dispensing tip 58 will be evident to those of ordinary skill in the art and therefore will not be discussed in detail herein.
  • a piston 61 provides the force for causing a viscous material such as a pre-whipped topping to exit from the package 55.
  • the piston 61 is mechanically coupled to a reciprocating rod 64.
  • the rod 64 is moved back and forth in the axial direction indicated by arrow 67 by means of the spring biased trigger 46.
  • the rod 64 is coupled to the piston 61 by means of a pawl mechanism.
  • the piston 61 has an extended portion 67 with an opening 70 that receives the rod 64 therethrough.
  • a pawl 73 is biased by a spring 76 in an angled position relative to the piston 61 (best shown in Fig. 7 ).
  • the frictional engagement between the rod 64 and the opening 79 in the pawl 73 causes the piston 61 to move forward in unison with the rod 64.
  • the movement of the rod 64 caused by squeezing the trigger 46 causes the piston 61 to move from right to left with respect to the figure.
  • a reset rod 80 (best shown in Fig. 7 ) can be used.
  • the reset rod 80 passes through the piston 61 and engages with the pawl 73 to cause it to pivot away from the piston 61 to allow the piston 61 to slide easily over the rod 64 back to its retracted position.
  • FIG. 3 and 4 an end view of the device 10 shows the handle 43 and trigger 46.
  • the dispensing tip 58 is shown at the center of the figure and the tabs 35 for opening the cover 31 are also shown.
  • Fig. 5 shows the dispensing device 10 with the piston 61 advanced to the end of its travel and the built in tip 58 of the packaging 55 seated in the outlet of the device 10.
  • the trigger 46 has been released and the pawl 73 is in the position where the rod 64 can slide from left to right without moving the piston 61.
  • the cover 31 is removed and the pawl 73 is pivoted away from the piston 61 so that the piston 61 can be pushed back to the opposite end of the device 10 for loading a new package 55.
  • Fig. 6 shows the dispensing device 10 in a half full condition with the trigger 46 depressed during dispensing.
  • a schematic diagram shows the piston 61 with the pawl 73 biased by spring 76 at an angle.
  • the frictional force of the rod 64 on the pawl 73 causes the piston 61 to move.
  • the friction causes the pawl 73 to pivot away from the piston 61 to a position where the rod 64 can overcome the friction caused by engagement with the edge of the pawl 73 around opening 79. In this position, the rod 64 slides freely through the opening 79 in the pawl 73 and the rod 64 decouples from the piston 61.
  • a reset rod 80 may be used to press against the pawl 73 to cause it to pivot into the perpendicular position so that the piston 61 can slide along the rod 64 from left to right in the direction of arrow 90 with respect to the orientation of the figure.
